<div class="assert">Netscape 1.0-4.x and Internet Explorer versions ignore this 
element when applied around table structures. For it to apply within a table 
structure as well, one must apply FONT or BASEFONT elements in each table cell. 
This is painful. The only way to eliminate so much extra effort is to use style sheets.</div>
